Hi! Tracy
How much wear did find on your rotor slots after 800 plus hours? With having to canoe to the house, Laura wan't have to water your flowers!

My observations are in line with Rusty's comments. On the website you will see that I recommend the LCD for bubble canopy planes like RV-3,4,8, etc. and VFD for planes with a roof. I started with the VFD in my RV-4 and loved it 99% of the time. But when the sun was low and at my 6, I had to shade the display to see it clearly. I liked the VFD look and will use it in my -8 but will have the popular sun shade installed in canopy to make it visible 100% of the time.

Those of you with EM's in your panel, please share your opinions on
placement (pictures if you have em..) as well as switch placement. Also
share the reason for your choice of VFD versus LCD and your experience
with that choice.
Hi Dave,
I have the large VFD in my RV-3, and figured bigger was better when I got it. I'm less than thrilled with the direct sunlight readability of the display though. When I ordered the second EM-2 for my Kolb, I opted for the LCD screen. From speaking with Tracy, it sounds like the LCD is more readable in direct sunlight, but perhaps not as nice as the VFD at other times. I plan to take a look at the LCD display in comparison to the VFD, and decide which I like better, but this won't happen for at least a few weeks. If the LCD is that much more readable, I'll probably trade in my large VFD display for an LCD.
It looks like the Velocity has a roof of sorts, so direct sunlight might not be an issue with you. If not, then I'd go with the large VFD.
Cheers,
